The Queensland Murray-Darling region crosses a wide geographical area and reaches from Goondiwindi to Mitchell and Tara in Queensland. The Queensland Murray-Darling Rangers project showcases reconciliation in action. The Queensland Murray-Darling Catchments Limited works with eight traditional owner groups and around 60 landowners across the region to implement their Caring for Country Plan. The eight traditional owner groups are:
- Barunggam
- Bidjara
- Bigambul
- Gunggari
- Kambuwal,
- Kamilaroi/Goomeroi
- Kooma
- Mandandanji.
The Queensland Murray-Darling Rangers work with traditional owner groups to implement a range of environmental projects. These projects are undertaken on a variety of land tenures — some 10 million hectares. They are focusing on projects to:
- keep country healthy
- protect heritage
- conserve, maintain, manage and repair the environment.
This project aims to:
- contribute to long-term employment
- build small business opportunities for Aboriginal communities and individuals.
